Medical Genetics Research
Members of the Medical Genetics faculty conduct research in most areas of human and medical genetics and modern molecular biology. They work in a wide range of settings within the University of Washington, the Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System, and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
Our faculty and affiliates include one Nobel laureate, fifteen diplomates of the American Board of Medical Genetics, six members of the National Academy of Sciences, and two members of the Institute of Medicine.
